Thanks, hpmoon! I appreciate the ideas. I will deinitely make a little card that has the reasons I need to do this and look at it several times a day, especially in the afternoons and evenings when my resolve weakens. Sometimes I'm at conferences and meetings where they have cookies and chips and cake and donuts and…

OMG, I so needed to find this challenge today! Perfect timing! I am committing to this challenge in hopes of losing about 30 pounds. I am going on a cruise and hopefully (fingers double crossed) starting a family when we return. I just can't imagine adding more weight on top of where I am and I so want to feel good, look…

Thanks! I just ordered the green and red kinds of gelatin on Amazon! After reading a lot of what folks said about the health benefits, I can't wait to try it. I work out in the morning and will add the green kind to my coffee as I come into the office.

LMAO, that's too funny! Liver and herring? No thanks... I am totally Paleo...except for the booze. Honestly, giving that up has been the hardest. What I should really say is enjoying it not quite as often, not giving it up. We are planning our first child and I am currently recommitted to sticking to Paleo. But my hubby,…

Awesome! Thanks!:tongue:

Hey guys, sorry I have been out of the loop for a couple weeks. I have been super busy at work and I don't think the app has this capability. It has been crazy weather in Atlanta and I'm sure you've all seen the chaos it created on TV! SMH Anyway, I have been working out, but not being as consistent with my diet. My…

To say the past week was a disaster is an understatement. I was down 4 pounds and between "snowmageddon" and the Superbowl weekend, I'm back to where I started. I know some of this is bloat from the beers and snacks I enjoyed, but wow. Really? Needless to say, I am back in the saddle again and ready to eat right. Would you…

So, I was down another 0.6 pounds on Friday, but I kinda went a little nuts over the weekend. Considering that, I am not too unhappy! My goal now is to get to 210 (another 3.6). We'll see! Great job everyone! We can do this!

I was thinking the same thing about Hip Hop Abs! I have been using the "dancing, ballet, etc" category until I buy a heart rate monitor to give me a more accurate reading. Basically, I like to think MyFitnessPal is overestimating my calorie burn and I try not to eat all the calories back, if I can help it, just in case!…

Yep, you read that right! The egg doesn't cook in the coffee or else I would have stringy egg whites floating around (which can happen if I nuke it too long). I put the egg and butter in a blender for a few and it just emulsifies into this smooth creaminess. Not eggy at all! Since blending it cools it off, I nuke it for 15…

I work out in the morning and I do find I need help with my energy levels afterwards. I add an egg and a TBSP of butter to my coffee and drink it on my way into the office. I might have quiche later that morning, but not always (sometimes, I save it for my mid afternoon snack). Anyway, its delicious (and I am no raw egg…

Same here! My calorie goal is 1200 per day and you would be surprised how fast I eat that many calories! LOL, sigh. Anyway, MFP definitely makes me more conscious of what I am putting in my mouth. I have noticed I am much more satisfied when I stick to eating paleo/primal than not. It's all in what works for you and your…

I'm doing an assortment of workouts at home since I have a bunch of DVDs that are good and our TV has exercise apps that are pretty fun, too. I have several Hip Hop Abs, Zumba, and Kettlebell DVDs so I don't get too bored. I used to be a gym class groupie in the evenings, but for the past few years something clicked and…

Hi everyone! This challenge is so timely as I am getting back on track and increasing my focus. My goal is to lose 20 pounds by St Patty's Day, which means 10 pounds by Valentines Day! To get there, I am committing to a Paleo/Primal diet, working out 6 times a week for 30 minutes, and staying within my calories on MFP.…

Add me too! We can keep each other motivated!!:tongue:

bump Thanks!

Add me too! I'm starting over today as well. I know what you mean about being an emotional eater and I'm going through a stressfull time (aren't we all though, really)?! :smile: But, God is our strength. We just have to remember to lean on Him and BREATHE! LOL We can and will do this!
